I skipped Glen Clova last year to do a local cross country race at Haddo House. I think I'll do the same again if they clash this year.
What's Bennachie? Is that a hill race? If so then count me out!
PPB
Yes, Bennachie entirely a hill race! Eight miles/1150ft of climb, but beautiful course. Details on Garioch RRs' site: www.gariochrr.freeuk.com
Judging by last year's dates, Glen Clova shouldn't clash with either the MTM or Round the Castles x-c series. But probably best wait and see...
I remember the guy with a baby jogger at last year's Dundee 10 - yes, that was a bit dispiriting, wasn't it?!
It's vile here on the Buchan coast tonight - blowing a gale and pouring down. Hope the wind subsides by Sunday at least...
Forfar Road Runners are organising the run
http://www.forfarroadrunners.com/clova_1_2.htm will get you to the page where you can get an entry form.
I was going to run but my daughter's birthday is on 13th so it will be out for a family meal I guess - my suggestion of the Clova Hotel didn't go down too well!!!
Thinking of going along to the Meadows in Edinburgh on Tuesday nights to join in the speed sessions. Does anyone go to these? What are they like?
Will go and try Greaves
The running clubs around Aberdeen have good reputations - Metro, Lynx Pack etc.
Sometimes I wish I lived nearer the central belt where theres a bigger variety of races to get involved with!
Having said that you can't beat the Stonehaven half, Ythan challenge or the excellent Aberdeen 10k!
If you fancy an alternative/second opinion go up to the Tiso outdoor centre nr buchanan street bus station - they have a running department too and fitted me for my last pair of shoes.
Registration - 0930hrs onwards
2km Fun Run - 1030hrs
5km RR - 1100hrs
Cost on the Day:
2km Fun Run - £2
5km RR - £5 (SAF), £7(Non SAF)
Even more prizes announced yesterday with every entrant receiving vouchers (inc in the goody bag) for free entry to Greenock's Waterfront Complex. Plus Dozens of Spot Prizes for us mere mortals.
So why not Bring the Kids along, run the races and then head to the Waterfront for a relaxing swim.
Look out for me, i'll be 741, somewhere near the back of the 10k field!!!
eeek!
Well done to Twopies for the organisation, and a big thanks to your marshalls who braved the terrible weather. Hope the turnout was as good as you hoped.
Maybe you could ask entrants to forgo the goody bag in order that more cash can go to the charity. Iam sure most runners would not object.

First full triathlon completed this weekend ....roll on the Ben Nevis Hill Race this coming Saturday.
Twopies ...there is a Glenparker doing the Ben Nevis, do you know him ? does he want a lift?
POLO past me at half way, what better incentive to pick the pace up than the possibility of being beaten by a 6 foot polar bear.
My daughter did the 2k fun run, and now can't wait for Stirling fun run on the 19th Sept, espec since the kids get medals.
Well done to everyone who took part and thanks to the organisers
245 runners took part (3 times as many as 2003)
350 took part in the fun (300 more than 2003)
The Hospice reckon they'll make about £5000 from the event.
The goody bags came cheap and it's alway nice to get a wee reward at the end of the day.
Can get back to some real training of my own now with the Amsterdam marathon now less than 7 weeks away.
Had a lovely day thanks. 4 hrs travelling for 25 mins running in the rain. Thats what tis all about. Great scenic course. I'll be back next year. In all my excitment left my camera in the pavilion. any idea who I contacty to see if it's turned up ?
Did you do the Moray 10k or Half?
I want to do a 10 miler by the end of the year, but sunday run is only up to 8m at the moment and Dundee is November, and it sounds very hilly - can I make it? Not sure about that one!
I am a Scottish runner from East Lothian.
I have run 3 Marathon and plan to run number 4 in November28, in Milan, with my mate Graham, another Scottish runner from Penicuik.
Up and coming events for me are the Ediburgh 10k, Great North Run, Oban half and the Milan Marathon. If anyone is going to these events run arounfd naked and I will know it is you
Nice to be here
cheers
Jonny
Nice to see another body from the Edinburgh area. I see loads of folk running the streets of central Edinburgh but not sure if many of the regulars on here come from this area.
Edinburgh 10k cracking race passes my front door but I think I'll run it in my usual black kit.
Doesn't seem to be that many of us though, judging by the couple of Edinburgh socials I've been to.
I quite like the idea of the Dundee 10 miler actually. Might be a decent dangling carrot to get me into winter training in earnest!
brussels marathon
when do you pick up your race no and can you suggest a hotel for the above event.

Dundee is a bit of a slog. I've ran 1 Hour 15 for the 10 mile point in a Half Marathon yet Dundee took me nearly 1 Hour 19 last year. My mate and I are planning on heading down (from Aberdeen) for the race.
PPB.
I am staying at the Hilton which is where I stayed last time I was there.
Not sure about numbers pick up, got an email from them yesterday in French/Flemish which I could not understand although notice the website has a contacts link so if I don't here in next couple of weeks will get in touch with them. Will post on here if I get a response.
